While the Spaniard first patented a steam-operated machine for use in mining, an Englishman is usually credited with inventing the first steam engine. In 1698, Thomas Savery, an engineer and inventor, patented a machine that could effectively draw water from flooded mines using steam pressure. Savery used principles set forth by Denis Papin, a French-born British physicist who invented the pressure cooker. Papin's ideas surrounding a cylinder and piston steam engine had not previously been used to build a working engine, but by 1705, Savery had turned Papin's ideas into a useful invention.
1 In 1698, English military engineer, Thomas Savery, invented and patented the first crude steam engine, based on Denis Papin's Digester (pressure cooker) of 1679. 2  English blacksmith Thomas Newcomen improved on Savery's invention, designing and building the atmospheric steam engine, with the help of John Calley, in 1712.
